My precious child of God, I wish you a joyful and blessed day. May God bless you today in a special and new way. I am overjoyed to share that my grandson Samuel and his wife Shilpa are celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary. May God continue to pour His blessings upon them in new and wonderful ways. For all of you who are celebrating anniversaries, birthdays, or other milestones, may God bless you abundantly as well.

Today, let us meditate on Hosea 6:3, which says, “Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth.” When we receive rain at the right time, it brings us great blessings, doesn’t it? In the same way, the Lord will pour out His rain of abundant blessings upon your life.

In Genesis 24:1, we read that God blessed Abraham abundantly. It tells us that Abraham was blessed in all things because he sought the Lord diligently. Similarly, in Genesis 32:26, we read about Jacob. He completely surrendered himself to God, knelt down, and prayed, saying, “Lord, I will not let You go unless You bless me.” This is how we, too, must pray with persistence and faith. Speak to God, walk with Him, and ask for His guidance and blessings.

What happens when we pray like that? In Isaiah 26:3, it says, “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You.” Jacob was careful to keep God close to him at all times. Because of his faithfulness, God gave him a new name, Israel. Even today, an entire nation bears his name. What an extraordinary blessing!

Dear friend, if you seek the Lord wholeheartedly, you too can receive His abundant blessings. Would you pray and receive His blessings right now? May God’s hand guide you, His peace surround you, and His blessings overflow in your life.

PRAYER: 
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise of Your abundant blessings, like the life-giving rain. Teach me to seek You diligently, as Abraham did, and to surrender myself completely like Jacob. Strengthen my heart to pray with persistence and unshakeable faith. Lord, I will not let go until You bless me and guide my steps. Please fill my mind with Your perfect peace as I keep my thoughts steadfastly on You. Help me to walk closely with You, trusting in Your everlasting faithfulness. Pour out Your rain of blessings upon my life and my loved ones. Let my life reflect Your glory and honour Your holy name. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
